Dual PSU Project

Decided to do a Dual PSU Project to Share the load of my poor DEER (shit i know) 500W, with my own music too lol lol,
hope you enjoy it

how can i make the two power supplys work together beacuse i have sli pc and does that safe ????plz help

[tricccple]

this project is NOT safe, best to purchase a quality power supply

[SCARREDMIND]

im currently going to be doing this to power 9800gt cards in sli(both need 400~450w @ 24~28a each without other peripherals to run properly at full load)

so im putting 2 800w psu's together to make sure i have enough juice.

gonna cost me £98(combined) instead of £220 for a 1200w psu that might not even manage the amperage on the 12v rails.

[tricccple]

sounds like a plan

I'm interested to put 2 psu's in my machine, but how to turn off all hard drives and other things which are connected to power supply which is not connected with motherboard at the right time??? please answer

@neonzion7 you wanna put a bit of time travel on that one.

like one year back in time? no? lol bell-end.

not like the circuitry is or was difficult to understand, but w/e got a coolermaster case with a 1.2kw psu in it 'cause i got gored with the rough welded engineering of the old case + needed yet more power for 2 280gtx cards

@lukasmolin selled wtf lol its called sold...

[neonzion7]

@SCARREDMIND idiot

[elsinidentidad]

that is not a way to split the effort; you're not load-balancing Watts... that is a high school, project...

[lukasmolin]

@bendibell Or use an adaptor so the PSUs can be selled later if needed

[lukasmolin]

@hsnnaqi1 Well, this is not safe because simple power supplies dont give to your hardware good energy, but f you pla to do some kind of weird System with fuck1ng 4 GTX480 and wat to use 2 GOOD power supplies than you would be good to go, recommend use an adaptor, so u dont need to cut the Motherboard 24 pin wires to connect they each other, an adaptor is 10 Dollars or less...

[bendibell]

Not a good idea, but you can give your board more juice by using the second one for your drives and such. See my post above to see how to do it without frying anything.

It IS safe. Not in this sense, but it IS safe. You add ground to one of the original's grounds, connect the green wire on the new one in sync with the original's green wire not removing the original's green wire from the 20-pin, plug em' in, plug in yer drives, check your ground one more time, fire it up. My desktop's PSU is not strong enough, so that runs the board and a 250W runs the HDD and CD-ROM drive. I did not drill a hole so I can't close my case, aww, who the hell cares.
